CIGAR AND'CIGARETTE HO'LDER AND STUBEJECTOB- Specification of Letters Batent.

Application filed Februaryfi, 1918. Serial No. 215,646.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD F. STEELE, acitizcn. of the United States, residing at Teri-e l-laute, in the county of Vigo and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar and iga rette Holders and Stub-Ejectors; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to combined cigar and cigarette holders and stubejectors and is equipped with a novel sliding ejector which is positioned within the bowl end of the holder so that the stubs of the cigars or cigarettes located in the bowl may be readily and quickly ejected therefrom.

Another object of my invent-ionis'to provide a combined holder and stuib ejector in which the ejector plate is slidably mounted in the bowl end of the holder and may bc' readily manipulated so as to throw or eject the stubs of cigars or cigarettes from the bowl.

A further object of this invention is to provide a. combined holder and stub ejector of this character which will be simple, practical and con'iparatively. inexpensive in construction and one that can be manufactured and sold at a low cost.

\Vith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described and set forth in the claim hereto appended; V

In'the dnaiwi'ng: I

Figure 1 is "a side elevation of a cigar holder and ejector as made in accordance with this invention.

Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view'tahen on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an end view of the holder and ejector.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the ejector )la-te. 1 Fig. is a side elevation of "a slightly modified form of the invention.

Fig. -6 is an end view of the modified form of the invention.

Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of'thedrawing.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral5 indicates a cigar holder and stuib ejector in its entirety, and it comprises the usual tapered body 6, the smaller end of which constitutes a mouth piece 7. The enlarged end of the body is provided with an inwardly extending socket 8 which constitutes a cigar or cigarette receiving bowl. The body is provided centrally with a longitudinally extending passage or bore 9 which communicates with the socket 6 to permit smoke to be drawn from the cigar or cigarette positioned in the socket into the mouth Patented Aug. 12, 1919. A

of the user. The wall of the socket is pro vided with a. longitudinally extending recess 10 which has its side walls grooved as indicated at 11 to receive the ejector'pla tc12. The bottom wall oi? the slot or recess 1. is provided with -a. longitudinally extending slot 13 which terminates adjacent the rear and front walls thereof. The ejector plate 12 is constructed of suitable metal or other material suitalble for the purpose and is substantially ooncavocom'ex in cross section. This plate is positioned in the recess 10 and located under the walls 11 so as to freely slide therein. The inner end of said plate. is reduced and bent upwardly to provide a stop or cigar stub engaging member 14. The under side of the plate 12 or convex surface thereof is provided centrally with a depending manipulating finger or lug 15 located adjacent the stop engaging end. The lug 15 is adapted. to'he slidahly mounted in the slot 13 and extended heyond'the surface of the exterior wall 01 the body.

It is to be understmid that the form shown in Fig. 5 is identical in construction with that shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, other than being on a reduced scale so as to permit it to he used for cigarettes entirely.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is:

A cigar and cigarette holder includ g a BEST-AVAILABLE COPY body h -'aining a' socket and a, longitudinally extending slotin oneside wall of the socket', the longitudinal sides of said slot being provided with grooves, an ejector platedisp s finger ca 'ried by therear end of said ejeotor and mlmipulating element cerried by the outer side of said pl-ate'and exposed 10 exteriorly of the body and extending at night in les thereto.
